i recommend exercise. I'm over 50, and often after work I'll feel totally drained. after some kind of physical activity - and food - I have energy well into the evening. 20 years ago, I didnt have to do this, but at my current age, this fixes it.

Yeah, this is a big part of what's fallen apart. I used to be quite a gym rat.

  Yourself or others may find _it is exactly what has fallen apart_. Exercise is magical, it gives you superpowers of focus and confidence that you can solve all problems. If everything is going wrong, it's the first place to check - are you exercising? If not, fix that. And maybe everything else goes away.

Im 34 and in the same boat. I try to hit the swimming pool 3 times a week at least, preferably during my “lunch hours” and it changes everything. Couldn’t go for the last 2 weeks and I feel like I’m 85. Not sure where it comes from.

  Being able to work out over my lunch hour is easily one of the best parts of working from home for me. I suppose it was technically possible while working in an office, but such a hassle. Always resulted in losing some workout time around the edges, too.

    Must be nice. WFH for us meant that you have calls scheduled from 10am to 2pm. I think for the new year I'm going to block off 12-1:30 every day and absolutely step away from my desk.

      Recurring time blocks like this have been an absolute game-changer for me, I'd highly recommend it! An hour in the morning and an hour-and-a-half around lunch have made it so much easier to stay sane, and provide nice cover to decline meetings by pointing to a calendar conflict.

The exercise component is clear but could you elaborate on what you meant specifically about "food"? Do you mean a certain type of diet or only eating at certain times of the day or after working out?
